Construction Management Software Now with Reduced Deployment Costs

Can Anything Good Come Out of COVID Restrictions? At one point during COVID restrictions, some speculated that Australian businesses had "progressed more than five years technologically in the space of eight weeks."

At the pandemic's beginning, companies rushed to embrace online teleconferencing platforms such as ZOOM. It was a way to accommodate remote workers as businesses tried to prevent the spread of the virus. But, necessity being the mother of invention, interest continues in online tools to improve business processes and facilitate data access.

IPM Global is a Construction Management Software company developing business software for project-related industries.  We provide a Construction/Project Management Tool built on the Microsoft PowerApps framework and fully integrated with your ERP system.  The solution is delivered regionally by our Partners.

Over recent months, increased interest in IPM Global's Construction Management Software has led to deployments throughout Australia as well as in the US. And we've been able to provide technology and expertise worldwide from our Brisbane office.

How we lowered deployment costs

Before border closings and bans on international travel, our policy was to conduct software deployments on-site on a consulting basis. So, deployment expenses included travel and accommodations for an entire consulting team. Because each business is different, each deployment was unique. So, added to the price was the customized training necessitated by IPM's highly configurable software. That made it hard to cut costs.

But, with travel restricted, we realized we had to change from an on-site consulting model.  Now we conduct two or three-hour online deployment sessions with companies' in-house project teams every second day. We record the sessions and forward them to the project teams for future reference and training. This approach, along with the intuitive nature of the Microsoft Power Apps platform, has resulted in up to 50% savings in deployment costs.

Tailor your IPM experience with additional solutions

With IPM enhancements, you can create an IPM system unique to your business needs. It's easy to integrate IPM with your existing accounting/ERP solution via IPM Link. And because IPM built their construction/project management software on the Microsoft PowerApps framework, training will be a breeze for employees already familiar with Microsoft tools.

The pandemic will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on companies with more employees working from home and telecommuting. And, in the construction business, companies will adopt more online tools to decentralize their activities, improve efficiency, and boost productivity.

IPM Global delivers a 360-degree real-time view of projects, job tasks, and operations – combined with extensive reporting and back-end financial information. Powered by Microsoft Power Apps to provide comprehensive document and contract management features, IPM construction/project management software is also supported by native integration with Microsoft 365, including Office 365.

For organizations searching for a highly configurable construction management solution built on the Microsoft Power Apps platform, we have just what you need. And now, we have significantly reduced deployment costs.
